Summary
In the heart of winter, Prince Edwin's parents all but throw him out of his own castle with only an order to get to the kingdom of Port Townsend posthaste. Such is the life of a royal pawn, apparently.
But at least he's got Charles with him. Charles, his personal guard and best friend. Charles, who has a Lady he is courting at the castle. Charles, whom Edwin has loved in secret for years.
It's fine. Edwin is used to it. There's no reason traipsing through the kingdom on their own should change anything. It's only one week, after all.

Summary
The Cat King makes a comment that crawls into Charles's brain and won't leave. "Edwin likes a firm hand and a bold approach."
Like Charles is going to take relationship advice from that fleabag. Like the wanker knows Edwin at all. Except, as December unfolds, Charles finds Whiskers might have a point. -

Summary
"Don't!" Sil shouted when Charles's fingers were only a hairbreadth away from the cover.
Charles wrenched his hand back. "What the hell is that thing?" he demanded.
"I told you, it's a Fantasy Book. You touch it, it sucks you in, you get to live out your innermost desires."
*
A year after Port Townsend and the dawning of the agency's new line-up, a nasty fight sends Edwin to a mysterious bookshop he doesn't come back from. When he ends up trapped in his own book, Charles naturally follows, only to learn more than he'd bargained for about his best friend. -

Summary
When Alex had announced he wanted to do a couples costume for their Halloween party and had proposed they go as Frank N’Furter and Rocky, Henry’s brain had conked out a little, going straight to Alex in a corset, predicting it would be devastating. Now, faced with the 3D realisation, the tightness that emphasises the sinful curve of Alex’s waist, the low-cut top that hints at dark nipples Henry wants to graze with his nails… There’s a choir of kinky angels singing somewhere.
Or: how to derail a party's preparations with sexy shenanigans.

Summary
Ilya picks up on the third ring, breathing heavily into the phone. Shane hears a door slam shut through the device. “Do not yell at me.”
Shane stares at the half-empty bottle of vodka on the coffee table. “You suck.”
“I suck? I scored hat-trick! In your stupid body! I have not eaten in six hours, Hollander. I have not pissed. I have not laid down. I want to go home.”
“Rozanov–”
“Your mother has called twenty times. Your manager has called thirty times. Your father text me picture of crossword puzzle and ask for help. Clue is about American President from the 1980s. I cannot help!”
OR: the hollanov bodyswap fic.

i saw the dimples first by ninzied

Summary
The first thing he sees of the man are the dimples. Twin divots in the low curve of his back, nestled above a perfect, round ass that looks like it’s been carved from marble.
What Alex does not see is the easel right in front of him. He promptly walks straight into it, the scrape of impact echoing loudly all throughout the room.
Henry turns, and sees him too.
.
Or, Alex finally finds his muse. It gets to be kind of a problem, actually.

You Were The Heart Of It by dear_monday for idliketobeatree

Summary
The thing is, while Edwin appreciates Charles’ chivalry in pretending it’s nothing more than a bit of snow, the fact of the matter is that it’s a lot more than that. The whole wretched business started two weeks ago when they were breaking into an abandoned witch’s workshop, and Charles broke a little glass bottle labelled, ominously, The Shove. Edwin had opened his mouth to warn Charles, but he wasn’t quick enough, and they both caught a faceful of chalky, overpoweringly rose-scented powder that made Edwin sneeze for the time since 1916. He had hoped that time might have diminished its efficacy, but it wasn’t long before the effects began to make themselves known. Over the last two weeks, it’s become clear that not only is the spell still quite functional, but it appears to be contriving to put them in—Edwin feels hotly embarrassed all over to think of it—romantic situations.

There Are No Gays in Football by Malu_3 (Grainne)
Fandoms: Merlin (TV), Arthurian Mythology
22 Apr 2013

Summary
When a deeply-closeted Arthur Pendragon finally earns a spot in Camelot's first XI, he's dead set on breaking records, not one of sport's last taboos. But life, like football, is a funny old game, and sometimes the only way up is out. Especially once he realises he's arse over tit for the new physio.
A queer Arthurian tale of courage, love, and football.
